Dang that witch is crazy! At least he got his property back. He was way too nice though, I would have pressed charges.

What about the death threat? Her potty mouth and lying was caught on video for the whole world to see. Hope her job is at risk. Quad owner showed remarkable restraint. Police read situation accurately and pretty quickly. Maybe they had prior interaction with her.

They didn't press charges. Ugh. WHY NOT? She stole from them, and then threatened them for trying to retrieve their rightful property. And don't make light of the threat. She easily could have been carrying concealed, for all they knew. They had no way of knowing if she could have followed through with her threat. Their request for her to stop to wait for police was reasonable and met with irrationality and threats.

As usual, the sexism in our society shows up...and I don't mean misogyny. I mean treating women as having no agency, and thus needing any irrational behavior defended.

Let it have been a man stealing and then threatening violence against someone trying to retrieve their property, and it all being recorded, and he'd probably face charges. We saw a similar thing with the lady who assaulted the 17 year old boy flying his drone. Even after the video showed she was the instigator, and was ripping his clothes off and sticking fingers in his mouth, she gets the pass that would never be extended to a man. Let a man assault a 17 year old girl in that manner and he'd spend so much time in prison he'd forget what the sky looked like. She got a slap on the wrist for assaulting, arguably sexually (unwanted contact) A MINOR.

Why bother with the saying "What's good for the goose..." with this sort of double standard so rampant in our society?!

Hope she see's this many times in her community. I made a copy just in case it gets removed from youtube.
Lets hope all her neighbors and friends (if she has any) see this many times over the next few months.
If I had her mailing address I would send her a copy on DVD, just for fun.

I think about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something, then wonder what I'm here after ?

I would have a hard time at not playing DUMB!
Go to the crash scene, "Where's my quad?"
Noting bulge in lady's jacket...
Well, let me spool it up and see if we can hear it.
Then full throttle!!! Once I heard screaming, shut it back off and walk over and get it saying things like, " No wonder I couldn't find it, it was here in this lady's jacket... Last place I would have expected."

"Lisa Manfredi",, hummm,, she must have a phone number

Really a deplorable person. I read that she tried to be on the school board, could you imagine how she would treat kids. Those type of people always think they are in the right and even feel that if they catch someone breaking the law, then they have the right to break the law as well with no consequences. It's like skateboarding vids I've watched where some kids are skating where they shouldn't and a person thinks its ok to steal their board.

Big Thanks to the media scare stories, the mere sight of a quad copter to most people now instills fear and outrage.

If you're not living on the edge you're just taking up space !

Face it guys, flying these things anywhere but at an AMA field is gonna cause trouble.Since the drones seem to be taking over the hobby it's time you guys get together and do what we have done for over 25 years......rent and maintain a flying field for your hobby. Quit flying in parks.....!!! Where this kinda crap can happen in the first place. Damn guys get your sh@t together before you get it banned .

Why . . ? ? . . because some spastic broad wants to be a liar and a thief ? ?

Taken from the first paragraph of the park description directly on the City of Costa Mesa's website:

Fairview Park encompasses 208 acres of open space consisting of bluffs, vernal pools, trails, native plant communities and wildlife. Park visitors also can enjoy community events there such as the Summer Concerts in the Park series and the Lions' Club Fish Fry, fly model aircraft or take a train ride at Goathill Junction Railroad Station.

They were flying in an area designated for RC aircraft flying, not ripping around the picnic tables.

Thing is, if she acted this way to you, what else has she done that she got away with. I am pretty sure this was over $500 aircraft, so it would be grand theft.

I would prosecute her and shake the tree to see what else falls out. She sure has a mouth on her and we should all take notice of that. You never know when you might be recorded. At least what she did is on the vast internet and will never go away. She is tagged and bagged. 560k views so far.
